Wise words, @plant pauper. Hope you get through today ok.
What a lovely room for Charlie, @D0rdogne_Damsel. His dad is being a PITA, but sounds like Charlie is well aware of that, and too much of a gentleman to make an issue of it. Won’t be long before he is old enough and free to make his own decisions about how he shares out his time, and good advice to not let his dad rile you up. You've got some nice holidays lined up to restore your energy, so look forward to that.
Hope you are getting properly warmed through, @Hostafan1. I’m worried I may start developing webbed feet, here in soggy Devon.
I'll be thinking of you today @plant pauper, it won't be easy. I hope your Mum pulls through.
That's a lovely big and characterful bedroom for Charlie @D0rdogne_Damsel.
I'm using my French mobile phone as it is the only thing that works here. OH has gone to the next village to use his mobile. It doesn't have a signal here. A man from BT came yesterday. He had something that told him that the fault is 23 metres away, which is where the telegraph pole is. He said they need a cherry picker but it will be tricky because NDN's hawthorn tree is in the way. The cherry pickers were busy yesterday. He said it may be sorted in a couple of days.
A chimney sweep came this morning to sweep the wood burner chimney, so we got up a bit earlier than usual.
This evening we are going to a concert of opera arias with a buffet dinner. I'll wear my long skirt, rarely have an occasion to wear it. Thank goodness it still fits.
The heating came on last night and this morning. Sunny but chilly at the moment.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Hello all. what a change in the weather! Too chilly to sit out and have a coffee today. That's a lovely bedroom for Charlie @D0rdogne_Damsel, he will love it. I thought also that his dad was going to live in Italy? Sending special thoughts to @plant pauper. Take care everyone, catch up with you all later.
No, @didyw, I pay a monthly subscription to Orange, used to be France Telecom, not cheap, but I get lots of Internet and I can call different countries.

Snap! @punkdoc 😎 Im back from having my COVID jab at the Castle Mall (now renamed Castle Quarter) then John Lewis then farm shop and butchers. I’ve put the shopping away and had a light lunch. Now I’ll put my feet up.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Afternoon all, after another sleepless night, I got up at 4 am, had a cuppa, read the NT AGM booklet and all the prospective candidates' statements which were rather mind-numbing and went back to bed at 4 am. Of course I then slept late till 9.30 am. Oops. Had arranged to meet a friend at a local GC for coffee and cake and did make in time. Enjoyed our time together and bought some dwarf iris bulbs, a pack of 4 bright pink cyclamens for the kitchen windowsill and more alpine grit.
Felt a bit peculiar when I got home so watched ETTC and read. An easy lasagne for dinner tonight I think.

What a lovely room for Charlie @D0rdogne_Damsel. He's a lucky boy!
Hope the cost of using your French phone isn't too prohibitive @Busy-Lizzie.
Lovely and sunny out there now. I'm doing a little craft fair in town tomorrow - so I must sort out what I'm going to take!

Charlie will love his new bedroom @D0rdogne_Damsel, especially when he's got his own bits and pieces in it.
Good luck with the craft market @didyw.
